Comment 10 for bug 742038

just change the things in the file /etc/lsb-release is enough. Dont discuss so long about so a stupid (and easy to fix ) bug.

When you change the lsb-release you get problems with apt-get, becouse it wants a template file. Than you have to make a template file for it (put it in directory python-apt/templates) or something like that (search on your filesystem for the python-apt directory) - For that you can use the ubuntu template file as base

There will be other issues as well...
